CTI are proud and excited to announce the imminent re-release of two more classic Chris & Cosey albums from the 1980s': �Songs Of Love & Lust� and �Exotika�. These albums, which have been unavailable on vinyl for 20 years, have been painstakingly remastered by Chris Carter from the original master tapes specifically for these vinyl re-releases and showcase what many consider to be some of Chris & Cosey�s finest works from their eighties period. These limited-edition re-releases are an ideal primer for anyone who isn�t already familiar with Chris & Cosey�s extensive body of work or for those who just want to reacquaint themselves with their unique and often groundbreaking slant on electronica. Each of the four limited edition albums is available on different coloured vinyl and presented in a specially 'remastered' sleeve which also includes a 12" double-sided insert of archive photos, press clippings and interviews.

Songs of Love & Lust was originally released by Rough Trade Records in 1984 and was at the time considered to be quite a departure for both them and Rough Trade. The album contains Chris & Cosey�s trademark infectious rhythms, melodic tunes, edgy guitar, wailing cornet and of course Cosey's unique vocals - which give a dark and sensual edge to the production.
Archival press quote: "A vice-like turn of the screw that is at once dreamy, hard and compelling. A gathering of all those forces which give electronic music a heart of its own. This is seduction!" Adrian Jones - City Limits 1984 Archival press quote: "Chris & Cosey's alluring invitation is to try another world: their promise is that the possibilities should be endless." Don Watson - NME 1984.
